The fur is grizzled-gray with small black spots. Scrub hares have a small, stubby tail with the topside being black and the underside being white. What makes them different from the other subspecies is the patch of red-brown fur it has behind its ears.
The scrub hare is a solitary creature. They are also nocturnal and are seen foraging at night. During the day they create a small indent in the ground and lie flat in a motionless form with their ears tucked back to their shoulders.
The scrub hare is an herbivore and eats mostly green grasses. Many scrub hares do not even survive their first year. However, they have been noted that in the wild, these hares survive about 5 years.
